Profile
Stadt Baden is the municipal administration of the town of Baden in Switzerland. It provides a range of public services to residents, including civil registration, local taxation, and issuance of permits. The organisation manages municipal infrastructure such as roads, public spaces, and local utilities. It oversees community services like waste collection, public transportation coordination, and local event permitting. Stadt Baden also handles administrative functions related to social welfare and housing support for citizens. Through its departments, the municipality ensures compliance with cantonal and federal regulations applicable to local governance.
The organisation operates under the authority of the Canton of Aargau and follows Swiss municipal law. Its primary mandate is to serve the local population and businesses within the territorial boundaries of Baden. As a local government entity, Stadt Baden does not have commercial products but delivers essential public services. The municipality maintains records and databases containing citizen information, which are essential for administrative functions. In June 2023, Stadt Baden experienced a cyber attack that resulted in the exposure of a partial copy of its central administrative database. The breach, attributed to actors using the alias 'dragonforce', highlighted vulnerabilities in data backup protections and prompted an ongoing investigation.
